An apostille is a certificate attached to notarized public documents that will be used in countries that participate in the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty to validate the legitimacy of the notarization and the document.
An apostille or authentication certificate may be needed to verify documents issued by the state or U.S. government when conducting international business, adoptions, seeking dual citizenship or visas, destination weddings, foreign studies and/or employment, etc.
Apostilles are issued by the U.S. Department of State or the state the document originated in and each state and country has their own process.
Authentication Certificates can still be obtained for countries that do not participate in the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. Please send your request below for more information on how we can help.
